If it’s free? I’ll take 3.
For me, I can’t get the regular 60’s Fotons out of the MJ2 as they’ve finally received a proper burn in and they sound fabulous. I haven’t even heard the 50’s triple mica nor the 50’s istok triple mica. What sucks, I don’t have a clue what years they are except they’re 50’s. How can you tell as there’s nothing on the glass that has any date codes? At least from memory. I’ll have to check.
Damn, so much glass and not enough time. I may decide just to sell everything I have and keep all these eastern bloc tubes. They’re that good.

The date is right there on the glass, year is bottom right of the logo, yours we’re 57 and 58 from memory.

Thanx.
Actually they were 56 and 57. My eyes just aren't what they used to be. The magnifying glass and flashlight on phone seem to be the winning combo.

Since I currently only have 1 pair of the Foton 3x mica, looking to trade a pair Istok regular size for a pair of Foton 6N3P 3x mica. Got 2 other pair of the Istok mini's that I am going to keep. See my sig, PM if interested. Thanks.
Would also trade a matched pair of Reflektor 6N3P 59/60 for the 3x Foton's.

Sorry guys but had a situation last night and today where I couldn’t respond.
Yeah, you’re right Bill, I’ll take this offline and PM you.

Hey AC, I dont have THAT many of the Foton’s.
No doubles at all and they’re different code dates. Both sets from the 50’s I haven’t even rolled in yet plus you DID sell them to me. :)

Thanks TK. I think. :stuck_out_tongue: I chanced it on the WE's. $29 for a pair of NOS 396A's makes no sense whatsoever, but I figured I'd risk it and maybe get lucky. Worst case is I have to slog through a PayPal claim. The bad part is I don't even need that tube type, and could be morphing into my wife:

"Honey, look what I got!!"
"What need could we possibly have for that?"
"Well, nothing I can think of, but it was on SALE!!!"

Ugh....

If you're looking for a backup pair from the same seller this pair is slightly more expensive.
